Manual Compression Release

[trex]

I am going to remove and clean my MCR's. It is just straight forward like spark plugs right? What it the torque setting? Same as Spark plugs?

Before you remove them (I'm assuming they are starting to get sticky) have you tried just shooting a little WD-40 on them.  I do it right where the rubber meets the metal...I don't even remove the rubber.  It puts mine back to working perfect for about...oh...a few months.  Then another quick shot of WD-40 and good for many more thousands of miles.

Never mind, I got it. First time I did it, so I was tentative. Months ago when I had the comp check and a leak down test the mech said the rear CR was leaking a little. Today I did notice a very small amount of wetness around the CR. Pulled it and put carb cleaner through it the sprayed it out. May have to get new CR's sooner or later.

Thanks for posting.  I didn't know some of them might leak.  I'll now be aware of that.

Nothing a quick lapping and good flush won't fix.
